Jux is a free, visual website builder designed to encourage collaboration and reuse. Everything made on Jux is, by default, licensed for sharing. With simple, drag-and-drop tools, users put together premade pages, themes, and widgets as a starting point for their own website. History Jux was founded in 2006 by Mark Gorton, who had worked on the open-source projects GeoServer and LimeWire. These earlier projects ran on large, Java codebases that demanded much skill and effort of its contributors. By contrast, websites are comprised of small, independent, and widely understood pieces, dramatically broadening the pool of potential contributors and contributions. Started under the name "LimeBits," the company initially developed an open-source server for . The WebDAV standard was designed to facilitate collaborative editing and bring about the long-dreamt-of "Read/Write Web." Beginning in 2010, the company focused on visual tools to allow collaboration without requiring any coding knowledge. In March 2011, the project was renamed "Jux" (short for "juxtapose") to reflect the idea of putting things together in a simple, WYSIWYG fashion. Features Jux offers free websites with theoretically unlimited storage, as many websites per user as desired. Sites are created on a WYSIWYG canvas, where users drop widgets, edit widgets and move them around freely. Jux encourages people to build custom widgets and themes which can then be shared with other users. In this way it is unique among free hosting services.
